korean has switched from a pro-defense to an active deterrent strategy. that means if they have imminent signs of attack, they will pre-empt. defense officials point out that is more likely to be in a strategic threat rather than tactical. so that means, if they feel they are about to get hit with some artillery in a west sea island, they are not likely to initiate this, instead absorb it and then respond. what they are talking about is more a situation where if they see a missile, they think it is nuclear armed, it is at a time of hostility, it could be an imminent attack on south korea, then according to the new strategy, they would take out that missile. that requires perfect intelligence, and you can never tell what kind of warhead is on a missile. if the situation is now at even a higher tension right now and they observe missiles or scud missiles would they take those out? we don't know. my time is up but i would just lay a marker for during the q and a's the recent d.i.a. of the current nuclear war capabilities, as well as senator kerry's trip, whi
